but you would end up with ICAO licences
How have you concluded that?

GAL are not providing civil ATC services within the UAE FIR and not getting GCAA endorsements from the regulator to do so...wondering how that will result in receiving an ICAO license?

Their domain is only in the military restricted airspace and the only civil traffic they deal with is those on direct contract to the UAE military or coalition forces based here on task in and out of the bases.

Additionally, regulated radar services from the adjacent civil ICAO accredited units is terminated prior to handing off to their controllers and departing traffic from the military airspace has to be identified formally on departure as there is no radar agreement with the UAE military units/providers and the adjacent civil units.

GAL does not have any regulatory or civil accredited license authority here in the UAE, currently only a direct military ATC provider under the Ministry of Defense contract requirements.
